Microscopy images and datasets of Sphingomonas and Methylobacterium on Arabidopsis leaves

This repository contains the supplemental material and raw data to analyse the population density at the CFU-level and single cell-resolution, and spatial distribution of bacterial communities composed of Methylobacterium and/or Sphingomonas species on Arabidopsis thaliana.

Identities of each community can be found in metadata.csv and comm_id.csv. Data analysis can be found in the GitHub repository associated to the manuscript: https://github.com/relab-fuberlin/schlechter_phyllosphere_spatial_distribution.

File bacimg.tar.gz contains the pre-processed images of near-isogenic controls, two- and three-species communities (C, S2 and S3).
